Thoughts & Work. 2nd Year BA Drawing.

For the show...

the plan-
Untitled (Shakespeare), 2010
framed digital photographic print and caption
(frame) 73 cm x 103 cm (image) 59.4 x 42.0 cm (A2)


Due to it's ephemeral nature, most of my work exists as documentation (such as this photo). Untitled (Shakespeare) is a photograph of a drawing made in graphite dust spread over sheet latex. I created the marks and patterns by pressing and moving my body behind the latex screen. Usually I am interested in creating ambiguous images. However in this piece, inspired by a recent lecture on reading drawings, by Stephen Farthing, and my learning during this text and image elective, I have used a caption to direct the viewer's 'reading' of the image.
